Airfares from London to western US
Thanks to the people who reponded to my first post about direct (or non-stop) flights from London to western US destinations.
Talked with several airlines today and got horrific prices considering what I just read on another post Perhaps it's too early to have "real" fares for next July, but everything seemed to be about $1,400. London to Denver, to Seattle, to Vancouver and even on the east coast to St John's, Newfoundland.
We're trying to set up a hiking vacation for friends from Scotland, and we're trying to decide between the west coast and Newfoundland. Even London to Newark was $983.
Are these summer prices and everyone else is quoting fall or winter? I checked with British Air, Air Canada and Continental.

Yes, way too early. Nobody publishes schedules, never mind fares, that far out.
Also, BA knows it has the non-hub cities in the west tied up, so my strong advice is to look at non-Pacific NW/Mountain states points of entry, then look for cheap transcon or connecting flights to wherever you want to end up. Chicago, Washington DC, Dallas (for AA), Boston, Minneapolis - all have reasonable connecting service west.
Sign up with one of the fare watcher programs at Yahoo or Travelocity or something similar. Subscribe to a couple of the majors' email-alert systems, so you'll learn about deals as soon as they come out. But mainly, patience...
